The 201 area code is heavily targeted by Social Security and arrest warrant threats. Scammers call claiming you have a legal issue to frighten you into paying immediate fines.

Area code 201 is assigned to the northeastern portion of New Jersey.
Area code 551 was created in 2001 to overlay area code 201. With the implementation of the overlay on December 1, 2001, ten-digit dialing became mandatory in Northern New Jersey.
No, 201 is a legitimate area code serving Bergen and Hudson counties in New Jersey, including Jersey City, Union City, and Bayonne. Fraudsters spoof this familiar prefix to make their calls appear local and trustworthy.
The most common schemes hitting this area are PSE&G and Elizabethtown Gas shutoff threats, OSHA compliance calls targeting small business owners, and Social Security arrest-warrant robocalls that work better when the number on your screen looks like a neighbor.
